Time to get er done.

Ever notice when you stop making something a habit how hard it is to go back to it?

I feel that way about blogging this week. I went to Oklahoma last week and thought no problem I'll take the laptop with me and throw a few posts up and life will be easy. Except the hotel we stayed at, didn't have wireless, they were supposed to, but it was on the fritz. One of many small things that irked us, but really not a major inconvenience in the big scheme of things. We had a grand time.

I did learn some great family stories I plan on sharing. I know this will shock you if you have been following along, but my mom asked me to make a scrapbook before we left. So I scanned photos furiously and got an album mostly done for my aunt's fortieth wedding anniversary. I am going to have to gather more of her photos and send her pages but we will eventually get er done. (Yes I am going all red neck on ya.)

The boys got to go fishing for the first time and caught fish. My aunt and uncle have a small farm and they got to feed cows and an orphaned deer my aunt rescued. It was really boy heaven, when we pulled out of the driveway for last time, Max told me he didn't want to ever leave. When I reminded him that daddy was in New Mexico, he reluctantly agreed we should go home. FYI, we went with my parents, an aunt and two cousins all in order to surprise my aunt and uncle.

It was fun to see Oklahoma again. I did not see any pickled eggs, but then again we didn't' stop at a convenience store. That is one of the things I recall from my last visit. I also recall my Okie grandmother making those periodically and trying to coax us into eating one. I guess that was better than her husbands choices I still recall him asking me once which bottle of pickled pigs feet looked better. That would be neither, Pa Pa.

I have to admit feeling some envy at how green everything was and thinking, man would I like to garden there. Luckily while were gallivanting around we got some rain here and the desert is carpeted with green. I enjoyed my walk this evening so many little blooms to see. Oh and my maters grew about a foot in the last week, no kidding. So now I have some weed killing and staking to get er done. See yall later!
